Police Warning!!!

rayo1 — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:02:05 +0000

Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating… You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine and shift into Reverse. When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your
parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove that paper or whatever it is, that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. Guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car . So now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised! “BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.” If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.

There is Reason!!!

rayo1 — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 02:20:57 +0000

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, walk away, and act up and force people to take a stand. What we must realize that our need has been met, our desire be fulfilled and their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a “SEASON” because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.! LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Ice

rayo1 — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 02:08:02 +0000

Recently, the concept of “ICE” is catching up quickly. It is simple, yet an important method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by majority of the population, all you
need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted at during emergency as ” ICE”
(meaning In Case of Emergency). The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that
when they went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn’t know which numbers to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. Following a disaster in London , the East Anglican Ambulance Service has launched a national “In case of Emergency (ICE)” campaign. In an emergency situation, Emergency Services personnel and hospital
staff would then be able to quickly contact your next of kin, by simply dialing the number stored as “ICE”.
Please forward this. It won’t take too many “forwards” before everybody will know about this.
It really could save your life, or put a loved one’s mind at rest. For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2, and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference.

Why I Love You Mum!

rayo1 — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 01:51:41 +0000

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said, “I’m tired, and it’s getting
late. I think I’ll go to bed”. She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day’s lunches.
Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry.
She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair.
She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse. Mom then washed her face with Mary Kay 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night
solution & Age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails. Dad called out, “I thought you were going to bed.” I’m on my way, she said. She put some water into the dog’s dish and put the cat outside, then made
sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TVs, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework. In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the
accomplishment of her goals. About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. “I’m going to bed”. He did…without another thought. Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer..?
CAUSE WE ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL….. (and we can’t die sooner, we still
have things to do!!!!).

The Good Napkins

rayo1 — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 00:51:28 +0000

Gina’s mother taught her to read when she was four years old (her first mistake).

One day, Gina was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar.

She read the box in the cabinet. She asked her mother why she was keeping ”napkins’ in the bathroom. Didn’t they belong in the kitchen?

Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told her that those were for ‘special occasions’. Now, It was ”Thanksgiving Day,” and all folks are leaving to pick up our uncle and his wife. We were all given assignments while they were gone.

Gina’s work was to set the table.

When they returned, her uncle came in first, and immediately burst into laughter.

Next, his wife who gasped, then began giggling. Her father, who roared with laughter.

Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a ‘special occasion’ Kotex napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top.

She had even tucked the little tail in so they didn’t hang off the edge!!

Her mother asked Gina why she used these and, of course, her response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter.

‘But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!’

Life is too short for drama & petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly….and for heavens sake, use the good napkins whenever you can.

Four Sons

rayo1 — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 01:30:49 +0000

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in Summer and the youngest son in the fall. When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment. The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree’s life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up. If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of you fall. Moral, Don’t let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest.Don’t judge life by one difficult season. Persevere through the difficult patches and better times are sure to come some time or Later.

Story of Little Boy!!!

rayo1 — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 03:30:06 +0000

It is amazing of the way children think or reasons these days. That remind me of a wonderful story of young boy. A ten years old boy, who had eaten pineapple about fifteen days back, and fell sick from the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check done and the doctor diagnosed him that he had AIDS. His parents couldn’t believe it… Then the entire family under went a checkup none of them suffered from Aids. So the doctors checked with him again to know if he had eaten out. The boy said, “yes”. He had pineapple that evening. Immediately a group from the hospital went to the pineapple vendor to check. They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger while cutting the pineapple; his blood had spread into the fruit. When they had his blood checked…the guy was suffering from AIDS…but he was NOT aware. Unfortunately the boy issuffering from it now. Please, take care while you eat on the road side(particularly Oranges, Mangoes etc). In conclusion, kids need to be monitor and protected from any dangers, and that why they have their parents to explain things to them. It is not proper to say or do bad stuffs in the presence of the kids because they could remember thing no matter how long ago it was. I thank God for the boys’ brain that is functioning very well that help them solve the situation quickly.

Supervision of Teenage Girls

rayo1 — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 03:10:22 +0000

Teenage girls should be supervised by their parents to prevent them from getting pregnant. Parents should monitor their movements by going to their school or calling their teacher to see how they are doing in class. Parents should use the technology of cell phones to check on them occasionally. In addition, parents need to know about their friends’ backgrounds and try to get along with their friends’ parents to keep watch on them. Then, parents should talk to their daughters an d explain the responsibilities involved in raising a child properly because they are still children, and waking up in the middle of the night to feed the new baby and being there for the baby will be their daily routine work. More so, parents need to reduce their work schedule and monitor or oversee how their teenage girls function after school hour. I really do not want the parents to put all the efforts on the teacher because they are only going to be with the teachers for less than have a day and they will spend the rest of their time at home. That is the parents need more work to do, if they don’t want their daughter to be pregnant at early age. In a nut shell, encourage them to participate in the children ministry where they will continue to listen to the word of God. In conclusion, if teenage girls listen to the words of God, they will never misbehave and their part shall be straight. I will advice the parents to pay more attention our teenager and make them face their study squarely.
